Default IP Connection
Default IP connection setup for boss micro
This is useful when resetting the network settings
You will need:
•boss micro and power supply
•Windows PC or laptop
•Ethernet cable
To setup a direct connection on boss micro LAN port, you need to first setup your PC
network to match the path of the default IP address of 172.16.0.33 .
To do this, go to:
Settings >> Ethernet >>
Change adapter options >>
Select the ethernet device and select
“Change settings of this connection”
Choose Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) and go to properties.
Use the following IP address
IP address 172.16.0.32
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway 172.16.0.1
To activate the default IP address, after powering up the unit, wait for approx. 30-40

Connection via WIFI
boss’s local WIFI connection is suited for easy connection with local mobile or tablet
devices.
Note: This connection is not for connecting the boss to the internet.
To connect, scan using your device’s WIF for your unique boss device and connect directly.
By default the SSID is “boss-” followed by a 4 digit/character combination.
eg. uboss-xxxx*
Note: the *suffix is always the last 4 digits of the MAC address of the boss.
Password for the WIFI connection is: 12345678
Accessing from a PC might require to follow the advanced SSID settings to enter the WIFI
key instead of a PIN.
Once connected, either scan the QR code on the front of the boss:
or: open a browser and type https://qraccess/boss
Alternatively put https://uboss-****
in the address bar and enter.
(where **** represents the last
4 digits of the mac address)
Example: https://uboss-4756
Login as normal in the boss program with the username and password that was provided
to you.

The following information is intended for the IT professional in order to achieve
connectivity of the boss unit to the local network.
Internet network connection is via standard CAT5/6 ethernet cable.
(The WIFI on the boss family is for local WIFI networking only)
The Field ethernet port is for Bacnet/ Modbus communications.
Network settings are accessed via the “System Administration” pages on the local
machine.
Login using the administrator username and password of 12345678.
IP address settings are found via the Network config (1) link and the settings icon (2) for
the LAN connection.

Connecting boss micro to the Internet

By default the LAN address setup is selected for DHCP, so if the network is already
connected, a static IP may already be assigned to the local network. eg.192.168.0.100
(we will use this IP address as the example in the following descriptions ).
To check local access to the boss once connected it can be accessed by using the
following link in an internet browser window.
For example: https://192.168.0.100/boss
If you want to be able access the boss unit remotely over the internet then a static
IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is required and port forwarding rules
applied to the router to achieve this.
The boss needs the following ports for functionality :
Port 443 (access for the boss main page via browser)
Port 8443 (optional for shell access)
These ports are fixed and cannot be changed.
Once the port forwarding rules have been carried out in the router you should be able to
access the boss remotely by replacing the internal IP of the link above, with the external
IP in the address bar
example: if the router external static IP address is 200.100.50.25 then the link will
become: https://200.100.50.25/boss
For added security the PING feature is deactivated by default in the “Security services”
Section. Please ensure the Firewall is reactivated to security integrity
Please note:
The above information is given as general information to help IT professionals achieve
the clients request for connectivity to LAN.
Carel Australia is unable to provide further guidance on how to set up the TCP/IP
network, this is the job of the IT personnel.

4G connectivity
Initial connection setup for boss micro
Part Number: BMBST00DP0, boss micro 4G with WIFI
Accessory: BMBSTEGA00, 3m External 4G Antenna
General Note:
−SIM card is not provided, standard size data SIM required
−Before installation review local 3G/4G reception
−If mounted inside an enclosure use external 4G antenna for signal extension
−External antenna need to be protected against rain, sunlight
−To avoid interference to with the WIFI antenna it’s recommended to use external 4G
antenna. If both external antenna’s are mounted, they must be mounted at least 30cm
apart from each other
Attention: Do not invert the WIFI antenna with the 4G antenna!
The boss micro with the above part number is a compact DIN module that’s capable of
direct push notification over 3G or 4G mobile network. With that option it’s possible to send
alarm notifications or temperature reports without any additional connection. The push
notifications can include Email, SMS and telegram messages.
Please ensure the boss micro is powered off and disconnected from power supply when
inserting the SIM card.
Inserting the SIM card:
The SIM card connector will be behind the front cover. Please remove the front cover as
illustrated below. Open the SIM card connector by using a small screwdriver and unlock
the lid of the SIM connector by gently sliding it downwards.
The standard size SIM card slides into the lid of the SIM connector.
Close the lid with the insert SIM card and lock the connector by gently pushing it upwards
into the locked position.
Close the front cover and reconnect the boss micro to the power supply.

4G connectivity
Boss micro setup:
Use the WIFI access or the LAN port with temporary IP access to connect to the boss micro
and access the System administration
After the successful login navigate to the Network configuration in the main menu. If the
main menu doesn’t appear please open it up with a click on the “burger” icon in the upper left
corner.
Under Network config, you will find the actual status of the three available connection
interfaces. Where the 4G interface only shows if the connection status is:
•Up or Down, if service is connected or disconnected
•Network IP, provided by the service operator
For more settings navigate to the tab “Modem” in the Network config.

4G connectivity
In the Modem settings it’s possible to setup advanced SIM settings, please check with SIM
provider/ service account setup:
•User/ Password –depending on security requirements
•APN –Access Point Name, depending on the SIM provider and data plan
•PIN –SIM card PIN, 4 digits identification number
Please leave settings blank if your standard data SIM doesn’t require any specific setup.
Confirm the data entry with a click on the connect button and to activate the GSM network
connection.
After the GSM connection was successful you can proceed to the boss application to setup
any email/ SMS or telegram notification following the steps under “IO configuration” and
“Alarm and event management”
Remote access:
The primary function of the build-in 4G modem is for push notifications. The remote access
can be enabled by using a particular SIM/ Data plan to enable a fixed and public IP address.
That option must be added by your service provider to the SIM/ Data plan.
As the build-in 4G modem doesn’t support a Dynamic DNS service it does require a direct
public IP address to browse the boss micro remotely. Additionally the IP address has to be
static, as dynamic IP addresses are getting frequently renewed and will result in a loss of
remote access.
Alternatively the boss micro is fully compatible with our RED –Reliable Enhanced Data
platform and allows also remote access. Thanks to the embedded VPN solution there is no
need for a fixed and public IP address.
In case you’re using a fixed and public IP address, remote access is possible by looking up
the provided IP address in the 4G interface status and using the following URL in your
browser: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*/boss *provided Network IP address
